Phygital Phonics
An experimental sound art series that attempts to combine Physical and Digital events.
Sounds can be collected by anyone to fit with our chosen theme. These sounds are then given to artists to manipulate and compose sound pieces. The process culminates in an event at HARI and online, on our YouTube channel.
We recommend audio files to be at least 1 minute in duration. We would also welcome files that are shorter or longer. To help the artist get a deeper understanding of where and why the recording was taken, you can also send photos, drawings, or a short written reflection.

Some Ideas on Recording
Pheobe Riley Law - the curator of Phygital Phonics 1. , 2. & 3. - has produced a guide to recording sounds.

Against the backdrop of COUNTER POINTS - we are collecting sounds of crosses.
We invite recordings in response to the cross paintings by Paul G. Hughes and to what a cross suggests to you. For further ideas, there is a micro-essay using the words of Paul G. Hughes. Download here.
